=Mini-Mission 1: Advocating and Implementing Project Based Learning= Student motivation/engagement is significantly impacted in a positive manner through PBL in addition to preparing for real world application of concepts learned. Reaches higher level of Bloom and students see how it applies to what they will spend their life/time doing. Science: district considering alternative energy sources. Students can do the research and application of concepts to something that directly impacts them. Heating, cooling, lighting, etc.
 * Reflect on what you have learned about the structure, components, and rationale for project based learning and complete this mission:**
 * 1) Provide a rational for why PBL will be more successful methodology than conventional means of lecture and large class discussion.
 * 1) Provide possible PBL projects for each of the subjects taught: math, social studies, science and Antiquan language arts.

Math: cost analysis, upgrade, cost benefit analysis of both scenarios as a cross content project. Projection of costs to "go green."

Social studies: local government involvement, presenting the information as a consumer protection group.

English: Presentation part of the project, public speaking, letters requesting state reps, informational pieces for the PR.

We would use the elective courses to develop the music/jingle; marketing students can sell the idea to the target market; art students can design the graphics, goal is to include the elective courses too.
 * 1) Provide either a short jingle to help the Antiquans remember project based learning or an illustration that would help the Antiquans remember project based learning.
